I used to be of a mind that a tandem was the way to go...I'm in the process of changing my mind on that...any time you put more wheels on the ground, you are adding more resistance to going down the road...and more weight, which in itself is a negative...
I'm coming more and more to believe it's all in the trailer's weight capacity...there are tandems w/6,000lb capacity and there are singles w/6,000lb capacity...
W/a tandem, a flat will put you on the side of the road as surely as w/a single...and under certain circumstances, you could have two flats on one side instead of just one...
As boat sizes increase, eventually you GOTTA go to a tandem, but I don't think a V20 NEEDS one.
Destroyer seems do do fine on long distance tows and Rob pulled his V from NJ to SC last Spring w/no problems on his single axle...at this point, as long as it's the right weight capacity, I'd lean toward a single...
